Going to the stadium and watching your favourite soccer team or player sprint across the turf and score a goal is indeed a top tier experience. However, there are times when soccer games turn out to be boring with no goals or memorable moments. What does someone sitting in the stands then do to entertain themselves?

Think no further because this young boy showed the entire world how to have fun. He made a paper plane from his match ticket and sent it soaring in the air with all his power. What happened after was a once in a lifetime moment that he or bis friends won’t ever forget.

Paper plane goal takes centre stage in soccer game

The stage was set for a thrilling evening with England and Germany battling it out in the UEFA Nations League. It was a packed stadium for a high-octane clash at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

With the game not giving the crowd much to cheer about, the young boy resorted to making it a fun affair for himself. He made a paper plane out of his match ticket and launched it towards the soccer field.

He was seated quite high in the stands, giving his paper plane a massive route to fly. Uploaded on X, the viral video made quite the storm when it was shared last year in June 2022.

The plane set out for its course and made a daring descent towards the playing field. In the air for almost 25-30 seconds, the plane whizzed past English goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and into the net.

It was perhaps one of the most unlikely goals to ever happen. The boy and his friends could not believe what they just witnessed, and the entire stadium rallied behind that one paper plane.

After it glided into the goal, the stadium erupted into loud cheers. Little did the boy know that he went on to create one of the greatest moments ever captured during a football game.
